A Republican lawmaker in Maine was censured after implying that the deadliest mass shooting in the state's history was punishment from God for a recent abortion law.
The seven justices, all appointed to the bench by Republicans, will decide whether to let a law that bans abortions as early as six weeks of pregnancy take effect. Other abortion news is from Tennessee, Missouri, Florida, and Maine.
"Keep in mind, the law came into effect on October 25. God heard you. And the horrible events on October 25 happened," said Lemelin, a Republican from Chelsea.
